Therefore, to feed your cat ice cream is not a legal right promised by that amendment, won't you think? The same is true regarding the clothing and alike. You could have local by-laws prohibiting a certain types of clothing (like wearing a completely transparent bras in public places) or have any other types of the 'dress codes' implemented locally. So, could wearing anything you want really be a US citizen constitutional right?

Perfect 15 out of 15!

She did the entire project on the cat "pet/animal" theme. Could feed it what you want, you can't torture them, buying a "legal" pet... and there was one more but I can't remember what it was and she's asleep (sorry).

What you're saying is sort of like cell phones and driving now. You used to be able to text while driving, it's no longer allowed in my state.

But these Amendments protect INDIVIDUAL freedoms and how do you protect that AND my right to not be killed by you while you are texting and driving?

So, we have these rights until they are taken away, for basically whatever reason. Then someone will challenge them in court and if it gets to the Supreme Court they will decide if we really do have the right or not.
